Helena Montana

Located in western central Montana, surrounded by the scenic Lewis and Clark National Forest and Great Basin National Park, Helena offers a wealth of distinctive outdoor opportunities. Here are 10 things you didn't know about Helena, the capital of the state of Montana. Helena is home to the University of Montana and one of the best hiking trails in the United States. There are trails that Montana can easily explore for every day of hiking, and all are just minutes from campus. In Helena there is a wide range of outdoor activities, from hiking, biking, camping, fishing, mountain biking and more.

If you want to visit Helena, head to Mt. Helena City Park, where you will have spectacular views of the Great Basin National Park. If you really like the view of Helena, you should definitely drive past the city and park in the park car park before you visit.

If you visit Helena and are interested in the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition, this is a wonderful adventure and a must-do - do it. You can follow Lewis & Clark's progress through Montana during the 19th century through interpretative signs that guide you. The Great Basin National Park Trail, the first of its kind in North America, was designed in collaboration with the Lewis and Clark Trail Commission.

The trail is part of the South Hills Trail System and is managed by the Prickly Pear Land Trust. In the same city park is the Mount Helena Ridge Trail, which leads to the Horse's Trail, shown below, a moderate tour that takes you to the top of Mt. Helena, the highest point in the Great Basin National Park.

The campus is located just two miles from the city center, at the corner of Main Street and Main Avenue in the heart of the city. Steve's Cafe is known for its stuffed French toast with herbal sauce and is one of Helena's most popular restaurants. The ride starts and ends at the Montana Museum, which is operated by the Montana Historical Society and is the only museum of its kind in North America.

An hour south of Cardwell you can visit the Montana Museum of Natural History, the oldest museum of its kind in North America. Lewis and Clark came to Montana in 1804, where they traveled along the Missouri and looked down on its spring water.

This fateful step was enough to all but seal the fate of Virginia City, which would become a ghost town after gold ran out, and equip Helena for future growth and development. While Helena's geology gave her a head start, the preparation of her leaders led her to the thriving economic community that she is today. Since most of the miners were Minnesotans, Saint Helena, Minnesota, was named after the drop shortly after.

The central location of the city in Montana, combined with its nomination as the state capital, brought new people onto the streets again and again. Along with the state capital, the city of Saint Helena, Minnesota, at the intersection of the Montana-Minnesota border and the Minnesota-Montana state line, is bringing more people and roads into the country.

Helena acted as a transport hub, accessible by roads and railways, and as a dispensary when roads were opened up.

With the establishment of a territorial capital in Helena, the city slowly began to transform itself into a typical mining town, which prevented its collapse when gold ran out in the last chance gorge. The gold that flowed from the vein in LastChance Gulk was not Helena's most valuable mineral, but it made Helena a boom town. While this led to the first great gold rush on Montana's territory, this strike in Helena not only led to gold, but also to it becoming one of the most important cities in the West.

In just a few years, several hundred shops opened in Helena, and more than 3,000 people called Helena home. In just a few years after the first major gold rush in Montana, more than 3,000 people called Helena at home, and several hundred stores opened in and around Helena. In just a few years, several thousand people came to the city and many more shops.

Helena's wealth peaked in 1883, and by the end of the 19th century, Helena had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in the world. In the first decades of this century, Montana was a sapphire-producing district. It is said that there were more billionaires in Helena than in any other city in Montana or anywhere else in the world at that time.

After the gold rush of 1864 brought a boom, it became known as the royal city of the Rocky Mountains and decided to move its territorial capital to Helena in 1875. Many Minnesota miners, however, began to call the city of Saint Helena, after a town in Minnesota.
